Holiday Waffles Recipes

GINGERBREAD WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat waffle iron.
• In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt. In a medium bowl, beat eggs and brown sugar until fluffy, then beat in pumpkin, milk, molasses and melted butter. Stir the wet into dry until just moist. Do not overstir the waffle batter. Brush the iron with a little melted butter and cook 4 waffles, 4 sections each. Serve with toppings of choice.

EASY WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk milk and eggs; pour over flour mixture, and whisk gently to combine (don't overmix). Gently whisk in butter.
• Following manufacturer's instructions, cook waffles until deep brown and crisp. (For a standard waffle iron, pour a generous 1/2 cup of batter into center, spreading to within 1/2 inch of edges, and close; waffle will cook in 2 to 3 minutes.) Serve warm, with maple syrup and butter, as desired.

HOLIDAY WAFFLE BAR

Steps:

• To make the waffles, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder and salt.
• Stir in the egg yolks, milk, butter and vanilla (if making sweet waffles) until smooth.
• In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add to the batter and gently fold in with a rubber spatula.
• Preheat waffle iron and grease lightly with cooking spray. Add the batter to the hot iron by using an ice cream scoop or a 1/3 cup measure. Cook according to your waffle iron's directions until crisp and golden brown. Keep warm on a wire rack set over a baking sheet in a low oven.
